a complete surprise party, as nothing more
than the calling of intimate friends had

been issued. Nevertheless. the mayor was
not caught unprovided, and dispensed
hounteous hospitality with lavishness that
is characteristic of his generous nature
There were one or two little incidents con-

After the reception, when the Danz orches-

his pretty daughter as his partner
and before the music ceased he had danced

A GIRL OF HONOLULU.

How beautiful she was! How wild!
Pure as water plant. this child,
This one wild child of Nature here
Grown tall in shadows. And how near
To God, where no man stood between
Her eyes and scenes no man hath seen.
Stop still, my friend, and do not stir,
Shut close your page and think of her.
The birds sang sweeter for her face;
Her lifted eyes were like grace;
The rippled rivers of her hair
That ran in wondrous waves, somehow
Flowed down divided by her brow,
And mantled her within Its care.
A perfume and an incense lay
Before her, as an Incense sweet
Before Dllthe mowers of sweet hay
In early morn. Her certain feet
Embarked on no uncertain way.
Come, think how perfect before men:
How sweet as sweet magnolia bloom,
Embalmed in dews of morning when
New sunlight leaps from midnight gloom
Enthralled to.kiss, and first to kiss;
Yea, she was tempting LIKE to this!
She was as the Madonna to
The, rawny, dreamful, faithful few
Who touched her hand and knew her soul.
She drew them, drew them as the pole
Points all things to itself. She drew
Souls upward as the moon of spring,
High wheeling, vast and shining full,
Half clad in clouds and white as wool,
Draws all the strong seas following.
Joaquin Miller in the Utica Observer.
